Chris A.

Did a yelp search for breakfast diners and this one came up. I wanted a good old fashioned diner experience. I walked in from the cold and was greeted by the friendly and attentive staff. Was seated immediately. I got the waffle platter. The food was prepared quickly and brought out in segments. They explained the waffle would be out shortly but they put the other plate out. The food was standard fare but the waffle really had a good taste to it, and the butter and syrup was very good. All throughout the staff checked up on me and I was very pleased with the attentiveness. It seems like this is a locally owned place and independent. If you are in the area definitely stop by and support them. They serve breakfast lunch and dinner. I would try them again for their lunch and dinner options.

Decent food, friendly service, but not good for gluten free. Had lunch while I was in Smyrna for work several weeks ago. The owner and his wife greeted us, took our orders, he cooked the food, and worked the register when we were leaving. The food was okay. I had a blue cheese burger which was pretty good. I would not, however, recommend this to anyone seeking a gluten free meal. I was able to make it work, but not necessarily a wise decision if you have an allergy. For instance, the owner swore to me that no seasoning ever have gluten in them (which is not true). I might go back, but maybe not.

The experience was amazing. The food was great and the atmosphere is chilled. Get the corned beef! Delicious.

was on my way to get Greek down the street, and saw a sign that said meatloaf. I had to stop in and try. I was very skeptical at first, inside was very basic, nothing special but, OH MY GOODNESS!!! This is my new favorite place! I live in Murfreesboro and will have to make the 20 minute drive! The owner was kind and super to get along with: I was the only one there so we got to know each other a little. GREAT place. Can't wait to try the other dishes he has!

I'm not gonna lie to you if you're looking for decent delicious breakfast that makes you say wow this is the place absolute deliciousness. I took my mom first before I took my wife and kid and I fell in love with their breakfast. I haven't tried their lunch and dinner yet, but that's When I have a little time on my hands I work the night shift.

After my dumb ass searched Nashville hotels and booked one that I thought was in Nashville I realized it's 18 miles away and my breakfast plans were void so I had to find a new breakfast spot. I just wanted a sausage, potatoes, eggs and toast simple American breakfast this time and nothing more. I jumped on yelp to see what's around me and this place looked ok so I went over. To this day I have never had the free breakfast that comes with the room because I like to get into the community and get some local food. The place is in a strip mall with plenty of parking and completely empty, my first thought was how does a small town place have 65 reviews and no one in it, in all fairness it was early on a week day. The place was nice/fresh looking with wood floors and decent looking tables/chairs, flat screens and a bar with some taps. The guy working the room was super friendly and into into customer satisfaction, he rocked. The menu is very limited for breakfast, see my picture but it had just what I wanted. I ordered the All American breakfast which comes with a biscuit so I ordered over easy eggs thinking I can't mop up the runny yoke and I was served toast anyway. I was served three eggs because one yoke broke so they made me an extra one to replace it, how cool is that. The sausage patties were super thin but zesty/tasty so I will take that over the bland. The potatoes were the golden deep fried that you hardly see and I like so much. For breakfast on the fly it was exactly what I wanted so my road trip stops are all good so far. I now know why this small town spot has so many reviews, the chipper guy requests I leave a yelp review. I can't complain about anything and it was a great way to start my day. read more

The restaurant has a little comfy and cozy ambience with soft background music playing. I ordered chicken, chicken fresh rolls and chicken satay just to give them a gander. My order took approximately 10 or so minutes to prepare. I must say that their fresh rolls are not skimpy. Probably some of the larger ones I've ever had. Definitely a hit and I really like the sauce that they were served with. The chicken satay was nice and moist, but it did lack just a smidgen of seasoning. Overall, the food was very good and satisfying.

It only took a few minutes for my order. The summer rolls were nice and fresh. Hindsight is 20/20, I should've got them with the shrimp protein and they would've been even better. The chicken was seasoned nicely, and had a nice char, but were still moist on the inside. I totally enjoyed the food so I will definitely be back for a visit. Overall, I think the food, service and ambience were very satisfactory and the prices were comparable to most Thai restaurants. The service was friendly and the restaurant appeared genuinely clean. It was after the lunch rush so the restaurant had only a few other guests.

Gyro Cafe of Smyrna

Which is a gyro sandwich with french fry combo with soft drink. A vast majority of their meals are in the $15 range. They have a wide range and selection of different meals to choose from. This may seem a little pricier than other comparable restaurants. However, I must say that the serving was huge. So it was definitely worth the money. The taste of the food was otherwise very good. The french fries were fantastic. The only thing that could've made this better is that they would have warmed up the pita bread.

Absolutely delicious! The first time that I came here I had the applewood bacon burger, a friend had the Ruben. Both of our meals were great, the owner of the restaurant checked with us a couple of times to make sure we were enioying our meal and we assured him that everything was great. He told us how everything is prepared fresh in the kitchen. The freshness is noticable. Tonight I took my family back to Smyrna Cafe for dinner. The pork chops were the best that I have had at any restaurant. My wife had the catfish, she really liked it and was very impressed with the coleslaw too. Everyone In our group really liked the food, and the service was great too. They are nice people and really care about the quality of the food that they serve. The owner spoke to us as we ordered about his prior restaurant experience. He told us that he was a chef at the Belle Meade Country Club. It is obvious that he knows how to prepare great food and make a simple meal outstanding. This is not your average meat and three, it is much better. Give it a try, I am sure that you will agree. Smyrna really needed a restaurant like this. read more

French dips, roast beef so savory with a great soft on the inside and slight crunch on the outside hoagie bread, and it pairs with the au jus so beautifully. While you're eating this deliciousness, you're made to ponder when you can get back again real soon. This is a cafe you want to plan your schedule around as it will be the highlight of your day. Great service, always willing to adjust to his customers wants...and you can't beat the prices for the attention taken with the food. Now to Ron T reviewer: we go to eat the quality food, not a menu with perfect spelling. How pompous it is to ridicule a family trying to get their dream going, with all the costs associated with starting a new business, and pick apart the understaffing and menu thats not perfect english? How about going to a vegan place and ordering a steak? Or mexican and ordering chicken marsala? Whats sad, is if you would have talked to the owner instead of judging him and his background, he would have bent over backwards to accommodate you with a vegan platter, and happily. read more

This place is the best! My family and I stopped in for lunch on our way to Atlanta and we were greeted at the door by the owner. It was around 1:30, just after the lunch crowd, so the place was pretty quiet. He directed us to a large corner booth and recommended some items on the menu. My husband and I ordered the Club Sandwich with sweet potato fries and chicken tenders for our three year old sons, while another member of our party ordered the Caesar Salad. The food came quickly. The sandwich, topped with crispy bacon and roasted turkey and ham had just the right amount of melted cheese and mayo. It was absolutely delicious. The chicken tenders were so fragrant that I had to try a piece - even though my son didn't want to let one piece go. Again, delicious!!! Everything tasted freshly prepared- NOT processed and reheated. When we're on our way back home, we definitely plan on stopping in again for some great food and great customer service! read more

We stopped in Smyrna Cafe around 4:00 and were greeted by a very friendly owner with a Merry Christmas greeting. Both my husband and myself had the meatloaf, mashed potatoes and green beans! It was delicious and homemade no doubt! I am a southern cook myself so I know the difference! I wish they had a place like this in Bellevue where we are from! I wish them much success and I hope people will come and try them out! And a word to the rude people that commented on Yelp, especially Ron T. I say shame on you for being sarcastic and ugly! I am sure Mr Hana would have welcomed a kind word about his early menu in July! He is a very respectful Egyptian fellow who is simply trying to succeed at a business and make his American dream a reality and serve a community of people with great food & great service! We will drive out there some day and try his breakfast menu next time! read more

This place is simply wonderful! The owner makes you feel as if he was welcoming you into his home! You can tell that it is very important to him that you enjoy the food! He can accommodate just about any request and do it with joy. The food is made to order, so it might take a bit longer than you are used to in this fast food world, but boy is it worth it! My personal favorites are the eggs Benedict, the Reuben and the Cajun chicken pasta! The meatloaf is also delish! They serve beer, but it is definitely a family friendly place. Perfect for dinner with family, friends or any smallish gathering. My book club met there and had a great time. read more

Second visit to the Smryna Cafe tonight and this place is wonderful! The owners personally greet you and truly want and expect each person's freshly cooked and prepared dinner to be special! Our party had entrees that included grilled pork chops, chicken parmesan, and fried catfish. Side dishes included gourmet mashed potatoes, green beans, asparagus, and cole slaw. You can order soups, salads, and sandwiches, too! If I could give this place 10 stars I would! Will be coming back for breakfast, lunch and dinner! A much needed restaurant in Smyrna if you are tired of fast food and franchises! read more

Recentlyy husband and I were in Smyrna visiting our son who recently started a new position in Smyrna. Looking for a place to have lunch we found Smyrna Cafe and instantly fell in love. The decor is so cozy; welcoming you in. The owners are very friendly making you feel like you have found "the place". We had the chicken fried steak, green beans and Mac and cheese and our son had the Gyros. From the first bite your senses are overwhelmed with a complexity of flavors very few chefs are able to accomplish. Do we recommend Smyrna Cafe? YES! Will we be back? Absolutely. read more

My wife and I drove by for a long time until a friend told us how good the Cafe was, so we checked it out. We've been back several times now and have enjoyed everything we've eaten. We arrived this past Sunday after closing time and they still served us! The service is so good you feel like family and the food is all cooked on premises so it tastes fantastic. We've tried the hot chicken, meatloaf, catfish and chicken Cesar salad. We have not had anything we didn't love yet! read more

Driving through on our way to Georgia and we needed a good breakfast place. Stopped at Smyrna Cafe and was greeted by Manela. Very kind, pleasant hostess. Ash brought us out our breakfast and he was friendly and went out of his way to make our experience the best. Food was fantastic!! Homemade pancakes with hot syrup!! Omelette was light and fluffy and the breakfast burrito was nice and spicy! You will enjoy your time at Smyrna Cafe!! read more

My Favorite hometown Breakfast spot! They make a classic "eggs Benedict" that is on point every time! My kids aren't much for potatoes unless French fries or chips, but that all changed when my kids tried my side of breakfast taters! Family run, they are always pleasant and extremely caring. The food is FRESH and really cooked not microwaved or boiled in a bag. Also their Cajun Alfredo Pasta is out of this world as well. read more

We came in for breakfast after seeing the reviews here on Yelp. My husband ordered the corn beef and hash. I ordered the biscuits and gravy. Both of us really enjoyed our choices. The ice tea is freshly brewed and delicious. It actually tastes like tea. What made the experience even better was talking with the owner, Hanna. He was wonderful! If we lived in the area we would definitely be going again. read more

I saw the Smyrna Cafe while driving by and decided to try it. I had a delicious reuben sandwich. The meat was tender and lean and the flavors were great. The fries were good but I would have preferred an option of a side salad or bowl of fruit. The owners were very nice and the service was excellent. I will definitely go back again, maybe for dinner as the options for dinner looked great. read more

Great Lunch of Fresh & Homemade Food and Family owned business. Meat & 3 or Burger & Sweet Potato Fries are Fantastic! Owner LOVES his customers, very personable. I had Homemade Meat Loaf, Fresh Green Beans & Mashed Potatoes today, all from scratch! You can get a Meatloaf sandwich too. In the Publix Shopping Center off Lee Victory Rd.

Love, love, love Smyrna Cafe! Perfect home cooked taste. Their meatloaf is the best and the portion size allows me to (sometimes!) take some home for a snack. Their mac & cheese is delicious...want to post a photo here, you need to come by to experience the flavor. The owner and staff are gracious and kind. We visit weekly at a minimum. read more

This is my second time coming here and it was absolutely great. The greeter/server was very nice and was very time considerate when serving me. Let alone that, the food was very good and in solid quantities. The chef also stepped out to talk to us and was very concerned about how we felt about the food. Definitely a recommendation. read more

Just looks like a tiny resturant in a plaza when you walk by, but once you walk in there is an amazing smell and you get really hungry. There Chicken and Waffles is definitely the best chicken I've tasted in a long, long time. Would definitely recommend and I would totally come back when I get the chance. ~Cy Carter read more
